To all whom' it may concern: y

Be itknown that I, HEZEKIAH BRIDENTHAL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vincennes, in the county of Knox and State of Indiana, have inventedfcertain new and useful Improvements in Bolting-Reels', of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in` -Figurefl is a side view of the reel in a bolting-chest, the latter being shown in longitudi# nal section, and the `reel having parts broken away to show the interior.v Fig. 2 is al trans verse vertical section at 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail transverse section at 33, Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a detail longitudinal' section at44., Fig. 3.

The improvement may very readily be ap- A plied to an old-fashioned hexagonal reel of any length, from ten ,to' twenty-four feet, (more or less,) as it is now found in use, by remodeling it, or the improvement may be applied in building new reels.. In remodeling old rotary reels of ordinary construction thel mode-of procedure is asfollows: The silk cloth is first stripped off and the ribs or hoops to which it was secured removed, so as to 'leave 'the radial arms -B perfectly bare. If the old reel which is being re moldeled was of hexagonal shape, the same longitudinal ribs which supported the bolting cloth are used in the reconstruction. They are perforated at the proper intervals for the passage of the radial arms B.. The arms are then insertedin the perforations and the ribs A slipped onto said arms until they are brought to bear on shoulders orcollars Con the arms,

thus leaving, say, from one to three inchesof the arms projecting beyondthe ribs; or, if preferred, the ribsmay be secured upon the arms.

by pins passing through them.` This leaves the distance from the shaft D to the tips of the arms the same Vas before. Beginning at a point, say, twelve to eighteen inches from the head Ekof the reel, a new head, F, is constructed, closing ,up the space between the shaft D and the ribs with some substance dense enough to prevent the passage of any sub stance. Then the ribs, from the second head F to the tail end H ofthe reel, are coveredwith the impervious cloth, paper, wood, or metal G, stretched over or coveringthe whole space i outside the covering G, andv extend from Y if the head E to the tail H; These strips are alongside the longitudinal lines of armsl B and. bracketsB, to which-they may be secured; Next circularhoops or bands K areattach'ed to the ends ofthe arms B and to brackets B', attached at intervals to the ribs. l bandsor hoops may be made of wood or metal,

These l and may be as many in -numberas the quan-r tity of material-to be bolted by the' reel mayy require. lThe hoops form a cylindrical framework surrounding the hexagonal drum and al l chamber, I', between thelheads E and F, and

which will be usually from ninety to one hundred inches in circumference, and is covered with bolting-clothV L. 1

The boltingcloth is fastened to the outside `or cylindrical reel-head E, and sewed and stitched .tightly over and around the bands.- Then other bands K are placed around the cloth-over the other 'bands K. These #outside bands are clamped tightly over the cloth in order to hold it tightly to its place.

vvNevvpreels are madeaccordingto the above plans andspecification. l A 'The form of thel drum within has 'be"n described as hexagonal, but may be cylindrical or of other shape, if preferred.

M is the boltingche'st, and N is the spoutv through which the material enters the cham-l ber I. These parts M N maybe of theusualY construction, as also the way forthe escapeof the material ywhich has not passedthroilgh the bolting-cloth. p

I am aware that itfisnot new to secure within d' a rotarybolting-reel ,an impervious'drum of less diameter and length than said reel, and to secure to the outside of said drum longitudinal strips for carrying the material to be bolted up thev ascending side of the screen. Iam.

aware, also, that bolts have been constructed by stretching bolting material over circular hoops; and I do not claim any of these features, broadly, as my invention.

My invention is designed more particularlyv tremities of said arms, and the boltng material L, stretched over said hoops, substantially as setvforth.

2. rlhe combination, with the shaft D, .the arms B, radiating therefrom, and the impervious drum supported by said arms some distance from their extremities, of the longitudinal strips J, secured to the arms B outside of the drum, the brackets B, secured to the strips .I between vthe arms B, the hoops secured to the extremities of the arms B andthe brackets B', and the bolting material stretched over the hoops K, substantially as and for the purpose l set forth.
